Frontline housing and homeless service providers regularly help clients navigate complex landlord-tenant issues that can directly affect housing stability. This webinar provides a practical overview of Michigan landlord-tenant law designed specifically for professionals working directly with individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Participants will learn about:

• key tenant rights and landlord responsibilities, including leases, security deposits, repairs, notices, and other common housing concerns
• Michigan’s eviction process, from the initial notice through court proceedings and an order of eviction, helping providers understand critical timelines and requirements
• Fair Housing protections and how to recognize situations that may involve discrimination or violations of a tenant’s rights

Real-world examples will help participants identify when they can provide information and support, when additional advocacy may be appropriate, and when a client should be referred for legal assistance. Participants will leave with practical knowledge and resources they can use to better support housing stability, prevent avoidable housing loss, and help clients navigate landlord-tenant challenges.
